2023 Masters - Jon Rahm

[crazed 9.6]

The Masters is on this weekend.
First round starts Thursday morning.
they had the Par 3 round on Wednesday which i watched and was entertaining.
Gary Player who is well into his 80's made a showing during this Par 3 round. he is amazing for his age , wow !

Not many like to win this Par 3 contest, as it seems that they think its a curse to win. If you win the Par 3 play, then you will not win the Masters tournament, or at least no one has. So most of these guys play the Par 3 for the fun of it alone and eventually do something to get their card disqualified. Like Sergio who was tied for the lead, attempted a chip shot and missed badly, he then picked up his ball and tried the same shot again, That got his card disqualified and probably by design for Sergio


Tiger Woods is in the hunt for another Masters.
If he makes the cut, he will have tied the record for 23 straight Masters without missing the cut.
Ties with Gary Player and Nick Faldo , I think.
*scratch Faldo , it was Freddy Couples and Gary Player.


The weekend looks to be cold thou and with electrical strikes in the air, so it seems. This will not play good for Tiger as he will be playing his round when all hell breaks loose which will most likely delay the play till the next day. Which will be tough on the old guy with his injuries and etc... This is what happened to Tiger in the Masters last year. He made the cut even while supporting a bad leg and hip, but come game time the bad weather set in which killed Tiger and his game. I doubt Tiger will be the Masters winner with all this against him. But would be good to see some good golf from the Big Cat this weekend.

Last year's Masters winner has been playing some great golf recently and has a good chance to repeat the championship at this Masters.
Rory is and has been playing great too and has a chance at his 9th try at a Grand Slam, if he wins come Sunday.
Jason Day as well will be one to watch. He has been playing some good golf lately.

MANY others are favorites as well, it's a 'staked' field.
Anyone could win this thing come Sunday
